To be useful every transformer has a "run" method of some kind.  For a 
hypothetical
IO transformer it would look like

runIOT :: Monad m => IOT m a -> m a

...which is basically the same as unsafePerformIO and defeats the purpose of
having an IO Monad at all.  If you want to retain the IO-type in the result, 
then
you don't need IOT at all, layering any transformer on top of IO is exactly 
what's
needed.
